Fold-over Blister Pack for Food

This is a type of food packaging container manufactured from food-grade materials—such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), and polystyrene (PS)—using a heat-forming (thermoforming) process. The container body is fabricated from a single sheet of plastic, featuring a pre-formed crease in the center that allows the unit to fold shut like a clamshell; it achieves a self-locking seal through the use of latches, tabs, or a snap-fit ​​mechanism. These containers are commonly utilized for the packaging, storage, and transport of various food items, including fast food, snacks, fruits, baked goods, sushi, bento boxes, and prepared foods.
